one of the officers of the submarine

that unless the eubmarine command-

where nature bloomed resiiantly under
a cloudless sky. He said to nimself:

• "The only object of life is happi-

not the love of this woman necessary
to his happiness? His heart, filled
with her image, was deaf to the voice

1418heart palpitated violently. His
whole being reached °tit toward her.

protested: "But she has defiedyou.
She has told you she would bold you
In 'her chains, willing or unwilling.
Are you then going ternbey her as if

very •little nride or courage. • Steer

her."
But he was already on 'his feet. The
magnetic influence which had always
drawn Leerier back to her, no Matter
how much he might resist it, now
exercised its sway over Jacques. The
epell of this warren, who, ghout-like,
sapped the power of will of those over
-whom she-eviehed to mit her spells,
triumphdd over distance, and prirdelece
and over reason. It was in vain for
Jacques longer to resist; ehe lead al-
ready conquered. He Went beck te the
house, took his hat arid coat, and
went away -without bidding his sister
good -by.
At this Wein statemeet of faets
sudden anger was kindled in his
heart against the innocent girl,
whose interests were so directly op -
Posed to his own that What was advall-
tageous to him was fatal to ber, and
that it seemed impossible te make the
brether live without causing the death
of the sister. A fantastic idea present-
ed itself to his mind, symbolizing their
destinies under the colors ot tire cards,
red and black -the one the color of
blood, the other the color of mount-
ing, 11 red turned up Juliette was to
die; if black, he must fall back into
his previous state of suffering.
A frenzy of selfishness seized aeon
him, and all his energies were concen-
trated in the desperate desire for life.
He felt himself capable of anything
to prserve it -even a crime, He car-
ried ais baseness as far as to raise his
eYes to the eick girl, walking pensively
In tete garden, and to say to himself
with fiendish satisfaction: "Two
months ago it was I who dragged DIY -
self along that sunny walk, and I am
now strong and able to enjoy life. .441
my regrets, all my complaints, which
then tieemed 50 unavailing, I may now
cast be the winds, and indulge with-
out restraint my desires and my hopes.
All that I came go near losing I lialre
regained. Life surges triunipbantlY
within me, what matters the price I
bave paid for it!"
- Hi$ conscience was silent. No voice
rose up within him to protest against
this monstrous deificaUon of self. His
heart was dumb, his mind was closed
to every generous thought. No feel-
ing within him rebelled against this
horrible absolution which ie gave him-
self for all the evil his useless exist-
ence had caused., and was yet to cause.
Yet in the midst of this Moral in-
sensibility a few words uttered by his
mother caused him to tremble.
"I believe," she said, "that Juliette
loved Pierre Laurier in secret. I have
not dared to question her, fearing to
bear her answer in the affirmative.
For I could give her no consolation,
and what can there .be more cruel for
a mother than to see her child griev-
ing without being able to hold out to
her a ray of hope? Yet if this be the
case we ought to know it, for here,
perhaps, is the wound we must seek
to heal."
Jacques felt as if a power which he
could not resist impelled hina to try
to clear up this painful mystery. Ev-
erything relating to his friend's death
had a terrifying effect upon him, yet
he felt attracted to the subject with
invincible curiosity; he desired and, at
the same time, feared to know the
truth. He wished to be silent, yet he
could not forbear saying:
"What if I were to speak to her?
She might confide her secret to me."
• "Question her very gently, then,
and if she seems reluctant, do not urge
her to answer. Leave her at liberty to
keep her secret."
"Have no• fear."
.Tullette was approaching. Mme. de
Vignes made a last mute appeal to
Jacques' tenderness and compassion
ter his young sister, and went into
the house.
The young girl, raising her eyes,
saw her brother standing before her
as if waiting for her. Her countenance
lighted up, and a Push mounted to
her cheeks. She seemed transformed,
and the Juliette of the past, happeee
gay and blooming, reappeared for an
instant, But her brow clouded
over again, her features relaxed,
her mouth lost its smile, and she was
once more grave and sad, as usual. Of
her own accord she took her brother's
arm, and leaning on it with evident
pleasure, -
"You are now entirely well, my
dear Jacques," she said.
He nodded affirmatively, pressing
juliette's hand gently at the same
time.
"What a joy it is not to see YOU anY
longer sick and unhappy," she con-
tinued; "for YOU did not bear your ill-
ness -with patience; you were not dis-
posed to be resigned."
She shook her head gently, as if to
say: "Women are more courageous;
they bear suffering better." They had
reached the very spot in the- veranda
In front of the house where Davidoff
had announced to Jacques the
death of Pierre Laurier. The wirldow
of the drawing -teem, concealed by the
blinds, was now as then half open, but
Juliette was no Ringer oh the watch
for evil tidings. She knew her fate,
and she awaited only the end of her
sufferings. But no one on earth could
giere it to her. This deliverance raust
come to her from heaven. She seated,
herself, tranduil and indifferent, in
one of the willow theirs, and fixed her
gaze on the sea. "I must question her,"
said Jacques to himself. "What Shalt
I say to her, and how begin the cOle-
versation? lier little head Is so clear?
She will weigh each one of my words
and guess from them the meaning -of
my questions. The slightest blunder
would put her on her guard. And if
She mistrusts me in the least I shall
get nothing from her. Her lips will be
sealed."
"Here we ate ih the middle of
March," he began with a meditative
air, "We Must soon return to Paris.
Will you not be sorry to leave this
•
place, dear?"
"It matters little to Me where I ani,"
she answered indifferently, as it she
thought to herself, "There is but one
place. where 1 ca,n be at rest,- in the
peaceful and silent tomb."
"I had fended our departure Would
tiot please YOU, that perhaps it might
gtieve you, and 1 was goihg to ttsk our

She bent her head with a frown, end
seemed determined tct betray nothing
• ef her thoughts, Iler brother watched
her with attention, in the hope of in-
• tercepting a quicker throb thatt usual
of this poor wounded heart.
"As Tor me," he pursued, "I should
not have been sorry to remain here
longer, I Shall leave this place with
regret, for I am 4 fe bound to it by
a most painful tie."
His vette failed hilt. He tould 310W
Mention Laurier's name without a se-
eret shudder, as if he felt he him-
self were in tome way accountable for
his tragic fate.
"Here I lest rey dearest friend," he
resumed, " a loss for 'which I tan

last time, has a fascination for me, ae

At these words Juliette trembled,
and she raleed her eyes to her breth-
er's with a questioning look, She felt
a movement of jay, oulekly repressed,
however,
"Do you think it possible, then, that
he is not decal?" she lunged.
"His body has never been recover -

"And is he, alas! the only one that
the Jealous sea has refused to gine
up," cried the young girl, With a
heart-rending look, "Noi we ought not
to cherish any illusions, or lull our-
selves with false hopes. ale had lost

fidence in his friends, life had ceased

his voice, nor his laughter -nor even
his cemplaints. He has gone to the
land from which no one returns -and
we may weep for him without any
fear of our tears being causelessly
shed."
She spoke with increasing agita-
tion, and her grief, no longer restrain -
cd, overflowed from her heart
to her lips like a torrent, swollen
by a sudden rainstorm. -SUrprised,
Jacques looked at his sister, seeking
to discover, in the midst of the bitter-
ness of the grief, which she expressed,
some trace of a reproach addressed to
himself.
"Does she suspect the terrible seo-
ret?" he asked himself. "If she had
to decide between Pietro mid me,
which would she choose? Would she
sacrifice her brother or her lover?"
Juliette wiped away the tears which
flowed down her cheeks, and remain-
ed silent a moment; then she said.
"Heaven, in compensation, has de-
livered us from our anxiety in re-
gard to yew' health. Enjoy life,
Jacques, employ it in loving us dear -
She made a.inovement as if to go.
He detained her, and loekieg at her
fixedly said;
"This, then, is the secret of your
illness and your dejection. You loved
him."
She answered without hesitation
and without embarrassment:
"With all my soul. 'Reel -dee rev
mother and you lie was the only one
who occupied my thoughts."
• "You are not yet twenty. At your
age there is no sorrow which is eter-
nal. The future is still before you."
- She bowed her head dejectedly; -
then said with great sweetness:
"Proroise me never to speak on this
subject again, will you? It would only
cause me useless suffering. I am not
eine of those who can forget their sor-
rows, or be consoled by them. In the
secret depths of my heart, the memory
of Pierre will be the object of my
worship. I shall think ceaselessly of
him, but to hear his name littered is
more than I c,an bear. I promise you
on My part, to' take care of myself
and to neglect nothing that might'
contribute to my health. I do not
wisb, to distress you, nor cause you
anxiety; but leave tee at liberty, to
indulge my 'grief."
She smiled sweetly at her brother,
and resumed her solitary walk up
a,nd down the etrrace.
Much affected, Jacque; entered the
house and went up to hie -mother's
room. Madame de Vignes was anx-
iously waiting for him.
• "Weil?' she asked, as soon as she
saw him enter.
"Well, I have spoken to her as we
agreed, and I found her, if not reas-
onable, at least very calms She grieves
deeply and does not wish to be con-
soled. I had thought that a prolort-
gation of our stay here might be ben-
eficial to her, but I was mistaken. I
think the best course to take would
be to return to Paris at once, and
make the child resume her former way
of living. Solitude is not good for
her. She has too much time in which
to let her -thoughts dwell on the one
theme. Our friends will take p'os-
session of her, She will bo diverted
in epite of herself and this will have
a favorable effect ori her spirits, ' I
hope."
"Do you think It would be well to
make preparations for our departure
at once, then?"
"No, that would seem too sudden.
in a couple of weeks we might go."
"But you, my dear boy, would not
the change of climate be prejudicial
to you? We are still in, Mardi; in
Paris it is' still cold."
"No matter! My health is now ex-
eellent, and it is of Juliette alone that
we must think."
"Very well, I will do as you advise
then."
Jacques kissed his mother's hand
tenderly. The breektaet bell rang,
• and they went into the diniegeroone.
• where Juliette soon joined them. Mme.
de Vignes and her son spoke On in-

right shoe. AB he did so the customer
almost sprang off the settee in pain.
"Hey, young fellow, go easy (A that

You are not a little more considerate I

the new customer.
"to your foot is sore," replied the
olerk. "Weil, what is the matter with
It? A corn?"
"No, 1 haven't got a corn," replled
the customer tartly, "but f will tell
you what. 1 have got. I have a fine
blister on itly heel and another one
across my big toe, and they were both
caused by the shoe that one of the
clerks in this store sold me the other
day. Now, what are you goiog to de
about it?"
Before making reply the •:,,lerk took
the measure of the customer's feet
and exaralned the shoe. Then he said:
'These shoes are the gorrect size.
As a matter of fact they are just a
trifle too large for you; but any shoe
is liable to cause a blister. The blisters
are due to the fact that the shoe rubs
your foot In some particular spot, but
that is not alwaye the fault of the
shoe. There is a very effeetive real-
edy for those blisters.
"Go to the ilearvet drug store and
buy some white adhesive plaster. .Any

narrow width is to be preferred be-
--cause its presence makes lese bunt
under the stocking than the wide
stretch. Put a email strip of plaster
across the irritated or blistered part
of the foot and leave it there until the
irritation or blister disappears. The
idea is to leave the piaster on until
the shoes become soft and have shaped
themselves to the feet.
"Thousands ofe'our customers have
tried this cure with success. In the

blisters on their heels. caused by the
